Summary

6 players that can push you over the top for the stretch run, including how the revamped Jays look following their trade deadline deals. --- 00:00 - Fred Pod 8-13 01:30 - Players to mention 02:00 - Junior Caminero, 05:30 - Christopher Morel 06:45 - Jordan Walker, 09:40 - Zebby Matthews, 12:00 - Seth Lugo 14:45 - Kerry Carpenter, George Kirby 19:40 - Lane Thomas 22:30 - MLB has played exactly one month of games since the start of second-half play. Here are some stats that are relevant for fantasy discussion. 23:50 - Luis Robert leads the Majors by a wide margin with 40 SO. Given his second half slash line (.123/.155/.210) and lackluster offense, is it reasonable to bench him? Maybe he has mailed it in? 27:20 - Aaron Judge ranks first in walks by a wide margin (27). He also ranks second in OPS. I still go back to all the projection systems, who told us to draft him in the top-5. Do we need to learn a lesson about overrating injury history, especially with hitters? 35:15 - Jake Burger has already hit more homers in the second half (12) than the first half (10). He is also among the second half strikeout leaders, if that matters. He is the leader in second half homers. 36:30 - Xavier Edwards places first in steals (13). Hitting .360. Have the Marlins found a piece to the puzzle? 41:50 - Vladdy leads the Majors in second half OPS (.1475). Hitting .464 with more walks than strikeouts. Is this a hot streak, or is Vladdy finally turning the corner? Along with Judge, Vladdy is another player who the projection systems told us to draft ahead of his ADP. 48:15 - Tanner Houck 5.48 ERA, 1.70 WHIP, 12:12: K:BB in 23 IP. 51:40 - Elly De La Cruz ranks second in strikeouts but first in steals and is batting .310. Which shows that nothing can stop Elly from being valuable. 53:30 - Ryne Nelson 3.19 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 36:9 K:BB. Spencer Arrighetti 3.60 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 36:6 K:BB. Spencer Schwellenbach (3.12 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, 36:2 K:BB). These three SPs are second in SO, behind Blake Snell. --- Pick6 Download the new DraftKings Pick Six app and use code RWPICKS.
